1 Boca Raton K l 'No weeds on top and roots you can hide behind. For job security, you can't do much better than that." Barry Carter Superintendent Boca Raton Hotel and Club Boca Raton, Florida Barry Carter's words summarize the results he achieved when he treated his bermudagrass greens and fairways with LESCO PRE-M 60DG Herbicide last fall. He plans to reapply the new pendimethalin product from LESCO later this year. Barry based his decision to try PRE-M on several factors. Of course his top priority was excellent weed control with no damage to topgrowth or roots. But he was also looking for low cost, convenience and labor savings. Barry got everything he wanted with LESCO PRE-M. "The control has been great," Barry says. "I can see where I skipped that's the tell-all, isn't it? "It's still a new product, but the best thing going for it so far is that it did not harm the turf at all not the new hybrids, not the old hybrids and not the old common. We've seen no root inhibition." From an economic standpoint, Barry's decision to apply PRE-M was definitely sound. He shopped and compared the cost of PRE-M and found his cost per acre could be substantially reduced by using the LESCO product. As for postemergent control, a practice Barry has employed in the past, the cost is also high because of the labor intensity of mixing two chemicals and spraying numerous times throughout the season. And with postemergent applications, the bermuda often goes off color. Barry says it best himself. "PRE-M costs a lot less than postemergent herbicide applications and it's a lot easier too. I'll put it down just twice a year as opposed to numerous spray applications."
2 Gleneagles "As far as preemergent weed control goes, LESCO PRE-M is the least expensive for the control you get. And the safety factor is very high." Gary L. Price Superintendent Gleneagles Country Club Delray Beach, Florida Before relocating to Florida, Gary Price was a superintendent in the North where preemergent weed control on golf courses is common practice. So when an economically attractive opportunity to put down a preemergence in Florida presented itself, Gary was eager to give it a try. He applied LESCO PRE-M 60DG Herbicide to tees, fairways and roughs at the rate of 5 pounds of material per acre at the end of October and plans a followup this summer. And as Gary pointed out, "When you go with a postemergent control, you're forced to live with some percentage of weeds." With PRE-M Gary found he not only achieved the superior control he was looking for, but also the degree of safety he wanted. None of the areas he treated with PRE-M showed any sign of injury or setback. "The results so far have been good," Gary says. "I don't know of any goosegrass germination. We had a little Poa, but after I took a closer look, I realized it was because we'd missed with the sprayer. And even though it's not labeled for ragweed, PRE-M sure kills it." When controlling weeds with postemergent products, Gary would make as many as ten applications per year. With PRE-M he only has to apply twice although he's considering three applications in certain heavy-wear areas that are especially susceptible to weed populations.

5 These special Places Rate Special Fertilizers... PAR EX Professional Products. The grass and grounds of these famous places are just as important as the structure or complex itself. That's why knowledgeable turf superintendents insist on specially formulated PAR EX Professional Products. IBDU releases nitrogen slowly, earlier in the spring, evenly through the summer, and carries nitrogen response later into the fall. Famous places like the park surrounding the St. Louis Arch, Deere & Company Corporate Headquarters and 53 of the nation's top 100 golf courses* are currently using PAR EX Professional Products. These include Muirfield Village Golf Club, Jack Nicklaus' home course, as well as most of the other courses he has designed. Shouldn't you consider PAR EX with IBDU for your special place? Contact a PAR EX distributor and let him recommend a PAR EX program just for your grounds. PAR EX and IBDU are products of Estech, Inc. Professional Products Division, P.O. Box 512, Winter Haven, FL *As listed by Golf Digest Magazine PAR EX with IBDU PAR EX and IBDU are registered trademarks of Estech, Inc.
6 President's Message FLORIDA GREEN: Much has been said about the Florida Golf Course Superintendents Association Code of Ethics item 9 and the violation of this code. It states, "Abstain from the debasement of, or encroachment upon, the professional reputation, practice or employment of another superintendentmay we have your comments on this? TOM BURROWS: Many persons claim negligence to the interpretation of this code. Let's look at the three major points; debasement, encroachment upon, and professional reputation. debasement implies generally a lowering of quality, value, dignity, degeneration of morals * encroachment upon to seize upon, take, to trespass or intrude upon the rights of another * professional reputation estimation in which a person is commonly held, character in view of public, good repute, good name, a good reputation * * Webster's dictionary. To me, these three items are very clear. They are extremely valuable guidelines to follow in potential employment situations. If a superintendent wishes to uphold professional and moral values in the view of other professionals and peers, he will not intrude upon or discuss employment for another superintendent's position until that superintendent is aware that his current position is open.
7 CHIPCO fungicide costs less because it works longer. You'd expect a premium product to cost more. But in the case of CHIPCO fungicide, its quality translates into greater costeffectiveness than you'll find with any other product. At the labeled spray interval of 28 days, you can protect your fairways for under KM per 1000 square feet per day The cost alone might convince you to give it a try But performance against turf disease makes CHIPCO the leading fungicide on the market. A fairway disease prevention program based on CHIPCO will give effective, long-lasting protection against the major diseases: Helminthosporium Leaf Spot and Melting Out, Dollar Spot, Brown Patch, Fusarium Blight, Red Thread, Fusarium Patch, and Gray and Pink Snow Molds. So if you want to economize without compromise, buy the numbers: CHIPCO fungicide. Rhone-Poulenc Inc., Agrochemical Division, Monmouth Junction, NJ (^fprhone POULENC CHIPCO Taking care of business.

8 For Maximum Emergence And Seedling Establishment, Ask For APRON Treated Turfgrass Seed. Letters To Hi Dan! The Editor Congratulations for your award - hope you have a good summer. Dan, "Would you send me a copy of your Florida Green magazine"? I will give it to our "super" after I read it. Thanks! Larry T. Mullen Hollywood Golf Club Deal, NJ Apron Treated Untreated Apron, a systemic seed treatment fungicide, works on contact to control Pythium on the outer surface of turfgrass seed. As the seed starts to germinate, Apron is systemically translocated throughout the entire growing seedling. Since Apron systemically protects young plants from Pythium infection, you get maximum emergence and seedling establishment. This allows you more maintenance time for your green and tee establishment program. After seedlings are established, it is recommended that you follow up with fungicide treatments of Subdue K to maintain Pythium control in turf. Call your seed distributor and ask for Apron treated seed for all your professional turfgrass plantings. Gustafson C) RO. Box Dallas, Texas (214) Apron and Subdue are Reg. TM's of CIBA-GEIGY Gustafson (logo) is a Reg. TM of Gustafson, Inc. Dear Dan: You have turned THE FLORIDA GREEN into one of Florida's premier publications. It is a joy to read. It is always power-packed, with fine editorial content, color and good advertising. Long time no see! It is still my big ambition to play your club. But we have a nice home at Piper's Landing, with water out back and a large lawn with many plants to take care of. I have professional help, of course, what with my limited talents, but it occupies most of my time. Then I do some financial consulting/managing, little golf story writing, and I manage to play golf a couple time a week. Add to all this some travel and sprare time doesn't pop up too often. Still... Why not try to visit me sometime? Would like to show you our surroundings. Bring a couple of friends or meet them here and we'll have some fun. Meanwhile, thanks for letting me read THE FLORIDA GREEN. It helps me keep up with you and your superb organization. Sincerely, Roger P. Ganem
